Every March 3 for the past ten years. Same green jackets. He got me this year. Age 13 and he got me.
I have owned $HII since 2/6/25 and am up 60%. Pretty much nailed the bottom tick. Easy thesis - we are going to spend money on domestic shipbuilding and hardly anyone can do it. Great, right? Not really. I only ever bought a starting position and then just felt like it was…
It’s wild that every living generation agrees that Gen X is the greatest generation. Very few things cross all of the generational boundaries like this.
I’m sorry, but we can’t accommodate this. Gen X is 1965 to 1980. If we start making exceptions everyone will say they’re Gen X, it will be chaos.
I thought the incandescent light bulb died due to market forces. But no, they were made illegal by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which phased them out fully in 2023. Let’s repeal this law and let the market decide if there is still demand.
In 2009 the last incandescent light bulb factory in America shut down. It was in my high school hometown of Winchester, Virginia. About 280 people lost solid jobs so we could make so called "green" light bulbs in central China. 11,000 miles to ship stuff to back to America…
In Ancient Rome, 1oz of gold bought a fine toga. Today, 1oz of gold buys a handmade suit. This is a favorite truism amongst gold bugs. Maybe it feels a little too perfect, like economic poetry. But it’s pretty spot on … a story that stuck because the math keeps roughly…
I prefer and own $RTX over $LMT. Think of RTX as three equally weighted components: - Collins Aerospace (avionics, flight controls) - Pratt and Whitney (jet engines) - Raytheon (missiles and radar) Great exposure to defense & civilian aerospace. I am up 150%, long term hold
Lockheed Martin $LMT Q2 sales plummet on global trade war and canceled orders; take a 1.6 billion dollar charge in Q2 as a result of tariffs. This is a company that makes its money building fighter jets and rockets in a period of time where half the world has been shooting…
Of what use is power and money if you must debase yourself to maintain it?
Let me just add this to the water table… Bill Pulte would be an exceptional pick to run the Federal Reserve. He is crushing it at Fannie/Freddie and deeply understands rates. I think the next Fed Chair needs to be: someone who understands rates because they actively…
On our island stops in the USVI last week we discovered the Spanish Lime (quenepa)…tastes like a cross between lychee and lime. Every time we found a tree, a scout would go up and throw them down. It became our currency on the sailboat. Going through withdrawals now….
The sailboat adventure with my son was amazing, but it’s so good to be back home. Good morning ☕️
Just picked these and threw them into an empty bag from the floor of my truck and am eating them on my drive. No wash, no problem.
this is why you should do a 15min baking soda soak to clean ur produce🤮
I am increasingly having recollections of strange events during my life: lucky breaks, coincidences, synchronicity, manifestations of dreams and wishes, that keep pushing me toward the inexorable conclusion… this must not be real.
I am not a hopeless optimist, I am a realist. And the reality is, optimistic people are happier and more successful. Simple choice.
I have too many friends that have damaged their health through competitive endurance sports like ultra-marathons. There is a balance.
CARDIO DU JOUR: This is big. Close to HALF of veteran competitive endurance athletes (>50) have cardiac fibrosis, 5x higher risk of (non-benign) ventricular arrythmia, (that is, 20% of these). Ditch your Strava, enjoy zone 1-2, avoid too many races, walk at flaneur pace.…
Little man turned 15 during our sailing trip this week. Having the freedom to do these adventures with my kids is the ultimate blessing. Tempus Fugit.
Motoring into port. Our 6 day sailing adventure is coming to an end.
Evening navigation class on the sailboat after dinner. Good night y’all
